Setting Quotas in Lotus Domino 8.5

Setting Quotas


You can control the size of users’ mail databases by setting quotas. (For more information, refer to the Domino Administrator Help and search for the topic “Database size quotas”.)


1. Open the Domino Administrator, select the Files tab, and select the Mail view from the left-hand pane (see figure 57). Highlight the user's mail database for which you want set the quota.

2. Right-click on the user's database (here, Mike Black's) and select the Quotas option

from the drop-down list (see figure 58)

3. In the Set Quotas window, select the user’s mail database, and select the options “Set database quota to” and “Set warning threshold to” (see figure 59). In this example, we set the quota at 250 MB.


4. It's recommended to set an alert to the user, to let him know when the database is
about to reach the limit of the quota. To do that, you need set a value for the “Set
warning threshold to” option. We recommend setting the value at about 90% or less of
the quota limit.

5. To complete the process, click OK.




How can we automate the process for few hundreds of users?
